The Maya Koshas: We all function with not just one, but five bodies or maya koshas. Our physical body is best known, yet it does not function alone. The bodies of energy, thought and emotion, higher wisdom and peace all must come into alignment for a deep healing relaxation to happen. In this workshop we will explore and experience these five layers that cover our true self. Through this understanding we are able to remove obstacles that keep us from experiencing a natural balance. Then we can bask in the peace of our own true nature.
The Chakras and Esoteric Anatomy: Begin to unveil the Sacred Mysteries within and understand how our esoteric nervous system can lead us to the mundane or the divine. As we are able to progress beyond the physical to our subtle bodies we encounter whirling vortices of energy, called chakras. These chakras contain valuable information about the ordinary as well as the extraordinary aspects of our every action and thought.
Chakras are connected through channels that flow up and down our spines. When they are unobstructed, the energy easily flows, we feel whole and healthy. With the stresses of everyday life the flow is hindered and we feel lethargic, anxious, depressed or even diseased.
Learn the theory and practice of how keep the energy in the chakras flowing and help correct any imbalance by using simple methods to recognize and clear the rarefied energy of the chakras, allowing us to open to our natural healing and wholeness as we realize our true divine nature.
The Secret Power of the Yoga Sutras: The Yoga Sutras, considered to be one of the most revered texts of yoga, is thought to be more than 2,500 years old, These "threads" on yoga or union, are extremely terse, stating concisely and often precisely, essential points or techniques to achieving self-realization. Originally these teachings were passed on in the ancient oral traditions, intimately shared from teacher to student. Even today almost every translation of the sutras includes pages and pages of master commentary deemed useful to impart the correct teachings, methods and sacred wisdom necessary to achieve Yoga.
In this workshop Nischala Joy Devi will impart her heart-centered intuitive interpretation of the Yoga Sutras from her book - The Secret Power of Yoga. Nischala Joy Devi's is a divinely feminine perspective of the Yoga Sutras which offers students an opportunity to partake in the unfathomable sense of peace, emotional and spiritual enlightenment that is our birthright.
